Answer:
Probability that Billy will roll a 5 or higher [tex]=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability refers to chances of occurrence of any event.
If a six-sided die is thrown, possible outcomes are [tex]1,2,3,4,5,6[/tex].
Billy needs to roll a 5 or higher to win the game.
So,
Favorable outcomes are [tex]5,6[/tex]
Number of favorable outcomes [tex]=2[/tex]
Total number of outcomes [tex]=6[/tex]
Probability that Billy will roll a 5 or higher
= Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total number of outcomes
[tex]=\frac{2}{6}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
